Project Summary The Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center/Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University (NSEC/CNS-ASU) combines research, training, and engagement to develop a new approach to governing emerging nanotechnologies. CNS-ASU uses the research methods of “real-time technology assessment” to enable a strategic vision of anticipatory governance through enhanced foresight capabilities, engagement with lay publics, and integration of social science and humanistic work with nanoscale science and engineering research and education. CNS-ASU has two types of integrated research programs, as well as educational and outreach activities (themselves well-integrated with research). Its real-time technology assessment programs are: RTTA 1, Research and Innovation Systems Assessment, which uses bibliometric and patent analyses to understand the evolving dynamics of the NSE enterprise; RTTA 2, Public Opinion and Values, which uses surveys and quasi-experimental media studies to understand changing public and scientists’ perspectives on NSE; RTTA 3, Anticipation and Deliberation, which uses scenario development and other techniques to foster deliberation on plausible NSE applications; and RTTA 4, Reflexivity and Integration, which uses participant-observation and other techniques to assess the Center’s influence on reflexivity among NSE collaborators. Second, the thematic research clusters (TRCs), which pursue fundamental knowledge and create linkages across the RTTAs, are: TRC 1, Equity, Equality and Responsibility; and TRC 2, Urban Design, Materials, and the Built Environment (“Nano and the City”). The Center’s major conceptual-level achievement has been validating anticipatory governance as a richly generative strategic vision. Its major operations-level achievements include: 1) demonstrating capacities for foresight, engagement, and integration that constitute anticipatory governance; 2) completing the “end-to-end” activities by linking multiple RTTA capacities for (the earlier) TRC 2 to create novel insights in a study of nanotechnology and the brain and for TRC 1 to create novel insights into equity and nanotechnology; 3) deepening the integration of NSE researchers into CNS-ASU; and 4) building collaborations for informal science education (ISE) on the societal aspects of NSE. Programmatic achievements in the reporting year include: revising an internationally adopted definition of nanotechnology and assembling a large study panel of nano firms; conducting polls of national public opinion poll and of leading nano-scientists; piloting a new type of future-oriented deliberation; demonstrating that interactions between NSE researchers and social scientists can generate more reflexive decisions; conducting new field research on NSE and equity; and delineating some challenges and approaches to nanotechnology innovation in the context of urban sustainability. The Center’s principal intellectual merit derives from the large-scale, interdisciplinary ensemble that underpins it. The ability to generate creative scholarship, embrace and facilitate interactions among disparate approaches to understanding nanotechnologies, and build complementary capacities to tap that knowledge for governance, is the critical intellectual contribution to which CNS-ASU aspires. The Center’s work has a substantial impact on scholarship, not only in terms of publications and citations but also through hosting international visitors. For broader impact, the Center has coupled research, education, and outreach activities exceptionally well by training significant numbers of new scholars from the social sciences and NSE, incorporating forefront research into a new winter school for early career scholars, new courses and ISE opportunities, and returning lessons learned and techniques developed for outreach back to the classroom. The Center has broadened the participation of under-represented groups by cultivating junior scholarship and raising issues of equity, gender, and disability as objects of programmatic study. The Center has enhanced the infrastructure for research and education by organizing community-defining conferences, producing community-defining sources of knowledge, serving as an international hub for dozens of scholars, sharing data and instruments widely, and disseminating its results aggressively to its academic peers as well as to public, scientific, industry, and policy audiences through traditional means and increasingly through new media. 3 Annual Report for Award #0937591 September 1, 2012 – August 31, 2013 4.
